Woohoo, heading out on the MN State Shop Hop on Monday! First order of business... purchase B/R/W fabrics for this swap. It's nice to have specific goals on a shop hop otherwise impulse purchases break my budget quickly.

On the banks of the Mississippi River in north central Minnesota (Brainerd lakes area)

i have mailed out half square triangles, fall fat quarters and black/red/white charm squares all in the mail. it is going to be like christmas when my mailman starts bring me packages back! i love it!!!!!! karen j

I am still waiting for the PO to send out the preposted envelopes I ordered. I ordered them on Tuesday, but the PO just ran the credit card yesterday! I hope to see them on Monday morning. I am ready t0 send out just waiting on the envelopes

I mailed my priority envelope today. Both sets are in there and clearly marked. I will pm you with the tracking number.

Thanks so much for hosting this swap! I have my pattern picked out and can't wait to get started on my quilt top.

Hi Regina - I'm with you, I can't wait to get them so I can start a quilt for myself. I hope I don't end up giving it away, but I usually do. I will be on the look out for your package. I just love doing these swaps.

I think these swaps are so much fun because it is so much like Christmas. I'll watch out for your package.

I'm just now getting around to cutting my charms and I have a question. I've cut 48 predominantly red squares (I'm signed up for 2), and 48 of the predominantly black squares (each one is predominantly red with a small black print or predominantly black with a small white print), now when I cut the white charms are they white on white, or can they be predominantly white with a small black or red print on them?

Melissa is usually on about this time. She lives on the west coast so this may be a little early for her yet. .... I was thinking that the white was just white on white; at least that's what I understood and sent.

If Melissa doesn't get on before you go shopping tomorrow, Nancy, you might go on the guidelines below.

Read Barbara's post prior to the swap. I think that's what Melissa based it on.

Melissa, when we have done this swap in the past it is usually been anything black and white, red and white ,white on white. just as long as it had those three colors. it didn't really matter how they were printed so long as it was those colors.. There are so many black white and red prints it should not be difficult to pick them out. If you are still interested in hosting this just let me know so I can open a thread. Barbara

Guess I better head for the LQS this morning. I know I have some more white on white, but for the life of me I can't find the second one. I've got one set finished, but still need to finish up the second one. Will get it in the mail to you this week, Melissa.
